Clint Hartmann, president of the Houston Chapter and CEO of the Houston Texas Fire Fighters FCU said states, “Our hearts go out to the Oklahoma credit unions, their staff, family members, and the credit union members who have suffered so much from the recent tornado in Moore, Oklahoma, and surrounding areas.

Hartmann adds, “We hope our assistance to our friends in Oklahoma will aid them in the healing process. The thoughts and prayers from all Houston area credit unions are with them.”
